The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: How Much Do You Know

In a private room in the clubhouse.

A man who looked even more exquisite than a woman, was leaning against the sofa with his legs crossed. He had one hand on the back of the sofa and the other holding a wine glass.

He did not drink it. He just swirled the wine glass and looked at the man sitting on the other side. He smiled and asked, “You’ve been in a daze ever since you stepped into the private room. Did you encounter something troublesome? If I remember correctly, you only returned to North City today, right? The troublesome matters should have been resolved.”

The person sitting there was none other than Yin Jiujin.

He had a handsome face. He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers as usual. However, his brows were furrowed deeply at the moment, and his eyes were filled with a thick, dark aura.

It was not eerie, but a kind of sinister aura that kept people away.

This aura belonged to Yin Jiujin alone.

Of course, his expression was not because he had encountered a thorny problem. Instead, he was thinking about the invitation letter he had seen earlier. To be more precise, he was thinking about the words “Yin Jiujin” written on the invitation letter.

He saw an aura that ordinary people could not possess from the words.

Even someone who had trained hard might not be able to write such words.

Not to mention that the girl was only a junior high school graduate, it was impossible for her to write such words. Even if she could really write it, a silly girl like her who did not even understand the evil of human hearts could not write such imposing words.

Did the girl get someone to write it for her?

No. No way.

The girl did not know many people in North City, even if she did, it was not easy to find someone in North City who could write such words.

He had never seen such a person in all his years in North City.

Rather than saying that those three words were written beautifully with an imposing aura, it was better to say that one could faintly sense a killing intent from the tip of the pen.

That sounded strange, but those who had studied the words and personally experienced the battle of life and death with the enemy could more or less sense it.

Hence, there was only one possibility left since the young lady couldn’t have gotten someone to write the invitation letter for her. That was that the young lady wrote the invitation letter herself.

If that was the case…

It was no wonder that Yan Jinyu had considered Yin Jiujin as someone she was wary of before she met him. Just based on the three words on the invitation letter, he could tell so much. He even started to doubt her flawless fake information in the past.

However, even though he suspected her, Yin Jiujin’s impression of Yan Jinyu’s silliness still couldn’t be changed.

Yin Jiujin had always been confident in his judgment of people.

If the girl was really pretending, it could not escape his eyes.

Just as he was thinking about this, his thoughts were interrupted by another person in the private room. Yin Jiujin stopped feeling conflicted.

He would just take it that the young lady’s handwriting was good. As for the rest, if there was really anything unusual, he would discover it sooner or later.

It had to be said that sometimes, Yin Jiujin’s attitude towards matters related to Yan Jinyu was similar to Yan Jinyu’s attitude towards matters related to him.

Let nature take its course.

If this suspicion landed on someone other than Yan Jinyu, how could Yin Jiujin have let it go so easily?

Yin Jiujin retracted his thoughts and looked over. “Why did you specially call me out?”

“…” It wasn’t the first time he saw his deep and dark eyes, but he would be inexplicably frightened every time he saw them.

Fortunately, he was used to it. Although he was shocked for a moment, he did not show it on his face.

“Yes, there’s something that has to do with your fiancée.” After saying that, he met Yin Jiujin’s deep and dark eyes. Min Ting calmly took a sip of red wine from his wine glass. “Don’t be anxious. Wait for me to tell you slowly.”

Min Ting was 25 years old. He was the only son of the head of the Min Family, Min Guili’s younger brother, Min Xiangbei. He was ranked third in the Min Family and was known as Third Young Master Min. He was a well-known playboy in the capital.

The reason why he specially called Yin Jiujin out at night because of something related to Yan Jinyu was because Min Ting and Yin Jiujin had some ties. The outside world was skeptical about the rumors regarding Yin Jiujin treating Yan Jinyu differently from others, but he was very sure that those rumors were true.

He had known Yin Jiujin for so many years and had never stepped foot on Mount Jing. However, he received some news that Yin Jiujin had personally brought Yan Jinyu to Mount Jing when he arrived in North City today.

Of course, this wasn’t the news that Min Ting had obtained from spying on Yin Jiujin. He didn’t have the guts to spy on Yin Jiujin. It was only because he had a good relationship with Yin Jiujin and was familiar with Yin Jiujin’s subordinates that he had unintentionally heard about it.

It wasn’t that Yin Jiujin wasn’t strict enough, but the news of Yan Jinyu being personally led to Mount Jing by Yin Jiujin had only spread among them. It wasn’t a big deal.

Not only that, if this spread, it would also let the subordinates understand how important Yan Jinyu was to Yin Jiujin. They wouldn’t dare to belittle her.

Therefore, Yin Jiujin had tacitly agreed to the small gossip that his subordinates were discussing.

“Speak.”

The casual smile on Min Ting’s face faded slightly. He swirled the wine glass in his hand with a serious expression. “Second Brother, how much do you know about the eldest daughter of the Yan Family?”

Yin Jiujin’s eyes darkened.

How much did he know?

If he had asked him this question earlier today, he would not hesitate to say that he understood everything. He had carefully investigated her past. He had a complete document on her, but after seeing the invitation, he was uncertain.

“Speak your mind.”

Min Ting was a profligate son, but he had a good relationship with Yin Jiujin. It was obvious that he wasn’t simple. Yin Jiujin didn’t answer his question directly, and Min Ting instantly understood what Yin Jiujin meant.

He could not calm down for a long time.

The famous Master Nine had such an attitude towards the eldest daughter of the Yan Family. No wonder Qin Bailu asked him for help.

However, he did not come to North City to help Qin Bailu. He did have something to settle in North City. As for helping Qin Bailu, it was just additional.

He knew this man’s temper very well. If he hadn’t owed Qin Bailu a favor in the past, he wouldn’t have agreed to help her.

They hadn’t even figured out Yin Jiujin’s attitude towards his fiancée, but they had already come looking for trouble. Weren’t they afraid that they wouldn’t be able to clean up the mess?

“Actually, I came to North City not only to settle some matters on hand, but I also agreed to Qin Bailu’s request to ask for your help. North City is your territory. Speaking of which, what happened in North City shouldn’t have escaped your eyes, but this happened in Huo Xuan’s territory.”

The reason why Min Ting was certain that Yin Jiujin didn’t know was because he had a lot of business in North City. However, he had never heard his subordinates mention what had happened at the largest underground racing arena in North City a month ago. From this, he could determine that someone had definitely done something to prevent the news of what had happened at the underground racing arena from spreading.

There weren’t many people who had the ability to do this, but there were still some. However, the first person he thought of who had the ability to do this despite knowing that they might offend Yin Jiujin was Huo Xuan.

Especially since the underground racing arena was Huo Xuan’s territory and Huo Xuan didn’t get along with Yin Jiujin.

“Rather than saying that Qin Bailu is pleading, it would be more accurate to say that she is pleading on behalf of someone. There are many families in the capital, and one of them is the Qiu Family, which is ranked among the many families. Have you heard of it, Second Brother?”

Looking at Yin Jiujin’s faint gaze, Min Ting instantly understood.

This man had no idea who the Qiu Family was!

“It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of it. I’m just casually mentioning it. Because this matter involves the daughter of the Qiu Family and that daughter of the Qiu family is Qin Bailu’s good friend, Qin Bailu came to me and asked me to plead for mercy on her behalf.”

At this point, Min Ting sneered inwardly. He would never believe that Qin Bailu did this because she valued Qiu Jian’s friendship.

It wasn’t because she valued Qiu Jian and wanted to plead for her. She had many intentions as she didn’t even hesitate to waste a favor fromThird Young Master Min to help Qiu Jian plead for mercy.

She was worried that she would be implicated by Qiu Jian. As for the rest, he couldn’t think about it for the time being. However, he could think of one thing. Qin Bailu’s plea would definitely make his second brother remember the words “Qin Bailu”.

If she did not show her face, she would not be implicated by Second Brother’s anger. Furthermore, she could openly show her face in front of Second Brother. This was indeed a good plan.

“The Qin Family?”

Seeing that Yin Jiujin didn’t even mention the name “Qin Bailu” and only mentioned the Qin family with such an uncertain tone, Min Ting’s disdain for Qin Bailu turned into deep sympathy.

If Qin Bailu really had the intention to show her face, her plan had obviously failed.

Poor Qin Bailu—the second daughter of the Qin family—had some fame in the capital, but she had no presence in Second Brother.

“Yes, Qin Hao’s step-mother’s daughter, Qin Hao’s half-sister, the Second Missy of the Qin Family.”

“Did she ask you to plead on her behalf or use her favor to plead for a daughter of the Qiu Family?” Min Ting was surprised that he would be interested. Before he could lament, he continued, “What does their plea have to do with my girl?”

My girl…
